Update: It seems that the Black Market Auction House is not enabled in this build.

Mists of Pandaria Beta - Build 15689
Two patches in a week is not enough, so how about a third? If you are tired of taking part in PvP on certain maps, it looks like there is now a solution for you! ERR_PVP_BLACKLIST_CAP indicates that players will be able to blacklist maps when queuing for some type of PvP.

Black Market Auction House
The Black Market Auction House allows players to bid on special items that are not normally sold by NPCs. For example, Mei Francis normally sells mounts in Dalaran, but in this case she is auctioning Ashes of Al'ar!

Cloak Tinker: Goblin Glider Permanently attaches a specialized folding assembly to a cloak, allowing you to deploy a goblin glider and fall slowly for 30 sec. Additionally, the glider has periodic forward thrust and usually won't catch fire. The cloak can only be used once every two minutes and requires an Engineering skill of at least 500 to operate. 5 sec cast. Reagents: Strong Flux (3)

Summon Black Ox Statue has been reworked: Sancturary of the Ox (Passive) -Everytime the Monk deals damage equal to 50% of their health, the Black Ox statue will cast Guard on an injured party or raid member within 40 yards absorbing 14,232 damage lasting 30 sec. This effect cannot be cast onto the Monk.

Mistweaver

Stance of the Wise Serpent now grants hit and expertise equal to 50% Spirit gained from items or effects, down from any Spirit gained. Now heals for 50% of non-auto attack damage, rather than all damage.

Glyph of Gliding Serpent Kick has been reworked: Your Flying Serpent Kick automatically ends when you fly into an enemy, triggering the area of effect damage and snare.

Major Glyphs

Glyph of Leer of the Ox New: Teaches you the spell Leer of the Ox: Your Ox Statue stirs hatred in the target, reducing their movement speed by 50% and causing them to attack your Black Ox Statue for 8 sec. The statue must be within 40 yards of the target. Requires Black Ox Statue to be active.

Glyph of Confession New: Teaches you the ability Confession. Compels a friendly target to confess a secret.

Major Glyphs

Glyph of Lightspring New: Transforms your Lightwell into a Lightspring: Creates a Holy Lightspring. Every 5 sec the Lightspring will attempt to heal party and raid members lower than 50% health for (5,735 + 55.3% of SP) over 6 sec. Attacks done to the target equal to 30% of your total health will cancel the effect. Lightspring lasts for 3 min or until 15 heals are expended.

One can solo kael on a dk easily enough, other classes don't have anything near that luxury, that is unfair. An AH where a mount may go up unoften with hundreds of people bidding on it so the prices are outrageous, sounds quite fair in comparison.

I know for a fact Paladins can solo it, and I'm fairly sure that I've heard of Priests, Mages, and Druids doing so as well. And this is just at 85.

By the time we get to the end of MoP, I'm willing to bet that Ashes will be just as common as the Blue Proto-Drake is now, especially if it does end up on the Black Market every now and then.

I'm logging in for the first time in over a year I think to say that being able to buy ashes (No I don't have ashes nor do I even play) takes away from this game even more. Really sad to see the road this game is going down. YAY for D3 and GW2.

lol.. at people QQing over ashes.. its ONE item that only ONE person can win.. its not an item that EVERYONE can go buy.. it is a rare item, those are BIDDING prices you see.. you will BID against other players. just because ONE set of Ashes goes on sale at what i would think is a rare occasion.. does not mean the population will suddenly be flooded with them like they are some brown bear mount sold in dalaran.

If the black market makes it to live, you have to realize how ridiculous the prices for the rare mounts will be. 20k for ashes? I doubt that, imagine a lot of 85's each bidding 20000+ and watching that grow, say around 1000000 gold for ashes by the time it gets sold (might be a little exaggeration but there's no way it would stay at 20) So far i think this is the best gold sink blizz can do.

Actually that has happened when realm first kills didnt give titles, and all that stuff.
Meaning its happened already, Not a next step if its happened

people COMPLETELY missed the bidding portion of those screenies.. they assume its just a vendor that you can go buy unlimited amounts of some item. its a brand new style of AUCTION HOUSE. players dont get to set the prices.. the game will randomly put an item up for bid.. there is NO BUYOUT.. its completely up to being bid on. BIDDING WARS ENSUE!

black market - the next step of devalueing anything rare left in the game

You mean the next step in people like you crying over something that barely matters?

Hopefully this will get the economy back on track at least a little bit, inflation is insane right now.
You know inflation is high when you can make 10k gold in a day selling 2 pairs of boe boots 6 months into a tier (at least on my server)

Let's say Ashes shows up once every 3 months on the black market, and gets bought by someone for 1 million gold. Would you really notice it in game compared to all the tens or hundreds of people who already have it from farming Tempest Keep weekly for the past few years?
